And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
And now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Such a custom as you I can have any day

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I took up from me pocket, ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened up with delight
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that you spoke were only in jest"

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

And it's No, Nay, never,
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more
